No excuse for car manufacturers focussing on high profit models/trims, but …
I think the infrastructure considerations are overblown. Don’t get me wrong, its very true and this is an appropriate role for the government to coordinate infrastructure buildout, that it’s failing at. But it’s enough to support far more EVs than we have, and for many it’s not the obstacle they think it is
there’s a solid percentage of people who own their own home and can charge at home - that should be a no-brainer yet most don’t have EVs yet.
most of the us population is within 50 miles of a trip chargers, which, in conjunction with 300 mile ranges, makes road trips doable without too much inconvenience
However, unfortunately more often than not people focus on the 0.1% of the use case for their car rather than the 99.9% day to say. I think until the infrastructure is ubiquitous and reliable, people tend to think that EVs are not practical.
That’s wrong, but I feel it gets in the way of people getting them.
And to be clear, I am an apartment dwelling EV owner that cannot charge at home. The difference is that I don’t live in the YS and can charge literally everywhere I drive to.

I completely agree with you there.
